Glasgow and The Isle of Arran

The day we arrived in Glasgow the weather was quite grim. It was raining and windy and freezing! So we weren't able to do much on that day. However we were so exhausted we didn't really have it in us to do anything anyway. Luckily at our new hostel we had our own room!! It was a four person room and we were lucky enough not to have any roomies! We were so happy. The next day was still raining but not nearly as much. So we set off to explore. We walked to the Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery. We absolutely loved it! We ended up spending most of the day there. It was so interesting.

 After the museum we walked around Kelvingrove Park for a while then headed back to the hostel for dinner. Next up we were off the Irvine! I was particularly excited to visit Irvine as (you may have guessed) it is in my family's history and we had ancestors that lived here. We are currently still in Irvine. We are staying with some of my grandmas friends and we have been spoilt! We are so incredibly lucky. They took us out for dinner last night to 'the oldest pub in Irvine'. It was pretty amazing to have pub food rather than beans and pasta. 

Today we went to the Isle of Arran. It was absolutely amazing! One of the most beautiful places. We walked around the town for a bit and then headed off on a walk through a valley called Glen Rosa. It was so beautiful! 

We walked alongside a river through farms and fields and next to mountains. The water of the river/stream was so amazingly clear! Harrison had a drink from it. We came across a waterfall which was pretty cool! It was such a beautiful walk. 

We had lunch (packed and made by our host - so cute!) in the middle of a big meadow/field next to a small creek. There were wild rabbit hopping about all around us and beautiful birds flying past. It was amazing. We didn't see nearly as much as we wanted and will probably go back sometime during the week. We came home to a delicious home cooked meal, and a proper bed to sleep in. It's also been great actually being able to drink water out of the tap here, as you are not able to do so in London. So grateful. Tomorrow Liz and Jim (our hosts) are driving us to a place called Dalmellington, where Harrison's family has a lot of history. I think it's going to be really interesting 😊
